Understanding 9/11Insight: Napa Quake / The Political Junkie / Sacramento Delegation to Ferguson / James Brown Film Producer
Audio Item Preview
With about 170 injured, three critically and a vast amount of damage, idyllic wine town of Napa is still recovering from a 6.0-magnitude earthquake early Sunday morning. Joining us to talk about what it will take to get Napa back up and running is CEO of Pinnacle Emergency Management Leo Grover. Plus, Capital Public Radio's Regional Reporter Bob Moffitt joins us from Napa with the latest updates on the situation.
The Political Junkie is turning his analytical gaze west. Ken Rudin, known to NPR listeners from his many years talking all things politics with Neal Conan on "Talk of the Nation," joins Insight host Beth Ruyak for our signature segment that puts California politics in the context of the national scene.
Sacramento religious leaders recently returned from a trip to Ferguson, Missouri where they were helping that city's faith-based community organize peaceful demonstrations and make connections with local law enforcement in the wake of a white officer shooting an unarmed black teenager. Pastor Les Simmons, who was part of the delegation, joins us to explain the similarities and differences of Sacramento and Ferguson, and what we can do here to prevent the unrest happening there. The situation in Ferguson has raised questions about the role of police in communities.
The team behind a new film about the life of legendary soul singer James Brown includes Rolling Stones front man Mick Jagger and a man who once spent time attracting bands like the Police and Elvis Costello to a 300 seat coffee house at UC Davis. Executive producer Peter Afterman attended UC Davis in the late 1970s and was instrumental in making the Brown biopic "Get On Up." He's also working on an upcoming HBO documentary about Brown called "Mr. Dynamite." Afterman manages the James Brown estate and the bulk of the Rolling Stones' recordings, which is how he knows fellow "Get On Up" and "Mr. Dynamite" producer Jagger. Afterman joins us to talk about his music career in the film industry and his two films about "The Hardest Working Man in Show Business." "Get On Up" is in theaters now and "Mr. Dynamite" begins airing on HBO October 27.
